Overall Value of Learning Styles Question 1 Preferred Learning Style Summary Williams took the VARK questionnaire (2018), and it was indicated that her learning style is kinesthetic, which recommends that kinesthetic learners give priority to experience real things even if they are demonstrated visually through images or displays. By encountering actual things, including hands-on experiences, engaging in practical experiences, and guessing when learning. VARK questionnaire (2018) recommends that kinesthetic learners will reap benefits by using senses, laboratories, and hands-on experiences to encounter trial and error and listen to lectures that offer actual scenarios that might be significant to retain details. Also, kinesthetic learners tend to derive lessons when they obtain the actual things that occurred or when scenarios are used into a summary. During learning, it is essential that the kinesthetic learners use photos to get a clue of the topic, remember the experiences, go on trips to assist revive memories, and engage in experiments (VARK questionnaire, 2018). It is essential to use the actual examples and discover the kinesthetic individual to review the notes. Finally, the VARK questionnaire (2018)…

Reflection on Learning what to Learn Acquiring and utilizing learned information is one of the abilities and skills that enable humans to adapt and survive in the current environment. Learning is a lifelong process; as such, I conquer with Rachel Wu (2019) that efforts need to be placed to ensure that only relevant information is learned to avert possible wastage of time and energy. Knowing what to learn or ignore is crucial as it enables people to understand the main goals of learning. With this understanding, they can channel all efforts to ensure that they acquire the needed information. According to the author, there are at least methods which can enable people to learn what is necessary, while leaving out the irrelevant knowledge (Wu 392). These different methods can be applied to all age groups, but some are very effective when used in particular stages of human lives. Learning from stimulus characteristics is particularly useful in infants. It mainly entails learning by observing similarities in events or patterns. I consider knowing what to learn by stimulus characteristics to be the…
Limited English Proficiency is a Barrier to Therapeutic Compliance Introduction The core objective of medical therapy is for the achievement of desired outcomes in the patients. Compliance means obeying rules or requests by the authority. In medical therapy, compliance means that the patient agrees with the recommendations of the clinicians for health and medical advice (Jin et al. 2008). Therefore, therapeutic non-compliance means that the patient is congruent with the guidance of therapy. Limited English proficiency as a barrier to therapeutic compliance There is significant proof that proficiency in spoken English determines whether or not an individual will utilize available healthcare services. The ability to use English as the primary language during therapy is associated with improved compliance with treatment. Why the interest in the area Language barrier primarily contributes to poor outcomes of therapy (Tsai et al. 2016). The language barrier may not only lead to therapeutic complications such as drug interactions and overdose but may also delay diagnosis leading to poor prognosis. There is a need for the exploration of this area of study because of the diverse…
games role in providing a balance between education and physical wellbeing Besides studying, I love sports for both for enjoyment purposes and my physical fitness. Cricket is at the center of my love for the sport. Still, I enjoy and participate in other sporting activities such as football, chess, badminton, table tennis, and long-distance running. I would use sport to bring different needy students together. From this point, it would be easy to identify the destitute student by getting close to them. I believe games play an essential role in providing a balance between education and physical wellbeing. Crime rates in my country are brought about by having many unemployed youths. Many people end up taking the wrong courses in university or colleges because of a lack of proper guidance while choosing the courses to pursue. If the student can get advice, especially while they are in their last term in high school, this would be easy for them. Lack of proper guidance from teachers and guardians is the leading cause of wrong decisions. Such an issue would have prevented…
Importance of Media Literacy Media literacy refers to the ability to identify varied types of media and understanding the messages that they intend to convey. People take a large volume of information from a wide range of sources, much beyond the traditional or old media. Media comprises video games, memes, text messages, social media, advertising, viral videos, and many more. Feuerstein (2015) claimed that all media have one thing in common: It must have been created by someone, and there must have been a reason for creating it. Therefore, the basis of media literacy constitutes understanding the reason behind the creation of the media as well as creating the media (Feuerstein, 2015). In most cases, people don’t know the creator of a media, the reason they were created, and whether they are trustworthy and reliable. This makes it challenging to teach and learn media literacy. History records it that media contents are dynamic and therefore media literacy play a vital in coping up with the changes. Nevertheless, given the recent advancements in technology, media literacy is an essential skill and…
Self-Reflection of the First Semester The first semester of this academic year has been fantastic, educational, and allowed me to learn a lot of new things I was not aware of. I have taken time to analyze the steps that I have made towards the achievement of not only my course objectives but also my broader goals in life. This reflection serves as a way of exercising my introspection and to show that I am willing to become more aware of my purpose and nature. Without such self-analysis once in a while, then I would be walking blindly into the different phases, and that poses the danger of not realizing my full potential. In the self-reflection, I have revisited my goals in life, both in the short term and in the long run, and the necessary steps that I have taken or I should take. What’s more, I have taken a look at my success, mishaps, what to do differently in the upcoming semester, steps I have decided to correct my mistakes, and more strategies on how to achieve my…
Developmental Stages and Reading Enhancement of Reading Skills In language learning, assessing the learner’s learning and relating it to the developmental stages is vital in determining reading strategies in various ways. The teacher’s knowledge of the developmental stages of the learner is vital in several ways as far as language learning is concerned. First, since learning language assumes a given linear pattern, connecting the developmental stages to appropriate strategies would enable the teacher to understand the appropriate ways of improving the learners’ language development skills (Moon, 2013). At the onset of the language learning process, the learners often have an abstract grasp of the language. Thus, reading needs a clear understanding of the context and semantics involved in the words. Such aspect could be fast-tracked if the teacher understands the developmental stages of the learner. Again, in connecting the developmental stages to the reading skills of the learner, the teacher could effectively assess whether the learner has reading problems and plan for remedial measures (Morse & Cangelosi, 2017). Different developmental stages among learners play an essential role in determining the…
